Value Collection C50000131 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000131 is a Grade 2 hex head cap screw with a 1/4-20 thread size and a 2-inch length under head, measured in the inch system. This fastener is a standard unified coarse-thread screw used to clamp, join, or secure components in light-duty mechanical and structural assemblies. Grade 2 designates a low-carbon steel fastener suitable for general-purpose applications where high-strength or hardened fasteners are not required. Technicians and installers reach for this size frequently when assembling equipment enclosures, brackets, and access panels across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 1/4-20 threaded hole or nut is present. Common install scenarios include securing sheet metal brackets, control board mounting hardware, junction box covers, and general equipment framing. The hex head drive accepts a standard hex wrench or socket, making it accessible with common hand tools on the job site. It is not intended for high-stress, shear-critical, or high-temperature fastening applications where a higher material grade is specified.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 2-inch length under head suits medium-depth clamping and through-bolt applications
• Grade 2 low-carbon steel construction appropriate for general-purpose, non-structural use
• Hex head drive accepts standard sockets and wrenches for fast installation
• Inch measurement system consistent with North American trade fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-series hex head cap screw for use wherever a 1/4-20 thread form and 2-inch grip length are specified in light-duty mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 1/4-inch hex head. De-energize or shut down any equipment before fastening components to live panels or enclosures. Do not exceed the torque capacity of Grade 2 hardware in high-load or vibration-prone joints where a higher-grade fastener is required by the equipment manufacturer. Follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener selection in structural or pressure-boundary applications.
